The Royal Wave

Introducing our exquisite shoulder hug knitting pattern, designed for those who appreciate the luxurious combination of alpaca and wool or alpaca and silk. This elegant garment features only one increase round, allowing you to focus on the flow of knitting without interruptions. The soothing rhythm of this graceful lace stitch creates a seamless design, making it as comforting to knit as it is to wear. Perfect for both knitting enthusiasts and beginners, this pattern beautifully balances modern aesthetics with timeless technique. |   

Mastering lace patterns revolves around the art of manipulating stitch designs to fit the overall silhouette of the garment. Avoiding seams is particularly crucial for smaller pieces, as they can disrupt the seamless line and flow of the lace pattern. Therefore, we encourage you to embrace tubular construction while shaping your creation—it’s the most organic approach and simplifies the knitting process, allowing the knitter to always face the forefront of the design. |   To achieve the best results, don't hesitate to be bold and opt for a very loose gauge. What may initially resemble ‘over-cooked noodles’ on your needles will transform, after blocking, into a beautifully light and airy fabric. This fabric efficiently traps air and warmth while eliminating bulk, ensuring you stay cozy without extra weight.

Inspired by Belinda's vision, the concept behind these stunning designs celebrates the essence of individuality in an era dominated by mass production. Wool serves as the foundation of these creative ideas, showcasing not only soft possibilities but also the ideal warmth suitable for diverse climates. Each stitch reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and personal expression—perfect for knitters who value unique pieces over commercial clothing. |   

Explore the delightful journey of creating your own shoulder hug, and revel in the satisfaction of wearing a piece that truly embodies your style. Whether you're seeking a new challenge or a soothing project, our knitting pattern offers endless enjoyment!
